Vaccines don't have mercury in them, not anymore... and they barely did to begin with.

They used to contain a preservative called thimerisol, a component of which is ethyl mercury. It is a harmless compound in that concentration and was easily metabolised by the human body. You'd get more mercury from eating a tuna fish sandwich than you would a vaccine.

It has been removed from all but one vaccine, motivated by placating the ignorant and scientific fear mongering.

Norway? Perhaps but I'm calling shennanigins on this. It is not a snowscape, not with the leaves on the bushes in the foreground at the bottom of the frame. Those don't look anything like naked, leafless trees covered with snow either. Snow covered bare branches look nothing like that.

It's more likely this is a photo with an IR filter. It sure looks like one.

Doesn't just add up, total lifetime rad count is perminant and everything adds to it. Plane flights, X-Rays, living in mountainous areas...
Living and commuting in New York City, passing through Grand Central Station daily probably adds to the count.

The man who would accept that as an "apology" is a week willed fool, one who deserves the sort who thinks that is an appropriate apology and would offer it.

This isn't, "sorry you had a rough day at work," or "sorry I punched you in my sleep," territory. This is a gross breach of trust. If she doesnt trust him to stoop to that level, why is she even with him?

Intimacy isn't a tool, bargining chip, bribe or get out of trouble free card, it's supposed to be (mostly) recreational adult fun. A relationship that devolves to that point is one that's in trouble.
